Moscow, Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars
Lenin

Wishing good for all the population of Russia,
principally the poor and workers, I request you
to be so kind as to appoint me a day and hour for
an audience to indicate a method for regulating
and reducing prices, as well as the precise dis­tri­bu­tion of all items of consumption in the country,
uni­ver­sal­ly without queues. If you approve the
proposed method, I express my consent to work
without remuneration. I reside at: Oruzheynyy
Lane, 39, Apartment 41.
